Introduction

In some projects, we need to add a reference to an inter network web service that is not public on the Internet.

We need some kind of tool to make a reference to that web service without taking our development tools to that network.

Then we use csc.exe to generate a DLL from the generated class from the last step:

In the last step, we use the System.Reflection class to invoke the methods of the DLL.

In the Explorer tab, you can see the reflected methods from the generated DLL:

By pressing Invoke button, the input form will be dynamically generated:

After giving the parameters, you can receive the result from web service:
